Old Business:

Hamfest report:

There was a $50 gift certificate obtained for a
prize for the fox hunt, but there was no fox hunt, so Ryan proposed that
we raffle it off at the December social meeting; it was so moved,
seconded, and approved.

Eighteen people filled out a feedback
questionnaire, and information may be extracted from them later.

Total sales at the silent auction were $277.
Glenn Mauger spent

$9.92 getting a key made for the old repeater
cabinet, and elected to convert reimbursement toward membership.

The VE session had thirteen applicants (three
from Socorro), fifteen elements were taken in all (two failed); successful
applicants numbered five Technicians, three Generals, and two Extras.

LEPC Visit: Glenn Mauger reported on the
LEPC visit to the Emergency Operations Center in Los Alamos and the State's
DPS EOC near La Cienega (south of Santa Fe). It was generally agreed that
the installation in Los Alamos is the Rolls-Royce of EOCs. Some good ideas
were gleaned from the trip. The DPS facility includes a room designated for
RACES.

New Business: The December meeting (the 14th)
will as usual be a social meeting, and Vern Leavitt will investigate having it
at the Roadrunner.

Adjournment: There being no further business,
the meeting was adjourned at 8:09 PM.
